Placing them " perched on top of the drugmaking mountain for a while at least."

Interesting article on Pfizer Chief Executive Jeffrey Kindler which states (act shocked):

"Perhaps underscoring his outsider status, Kindler made some waves last year when it surfaced that he contributed to Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. Big Pharma historically has been more supportive of Republican candidates. The industry has spread its financial support more evenly between both major parties since Democrats took control of Congress in the 2006 elections."

Even more interesting is that Pfizer just so happens to be on the who's who of CFR corporate membership (again act shocked!):

Wonder what will come of this new alliance and the top dog status with connections to the commander in chief and mandatory healthcare in the wings?
